JohnM 6,439 Report post Posted January 1 We have a hi-tech dishwasher. It has taken the combined intellect of the finest engineering brains in Germany to create a very quiet dishwasher that uses hardly any water, has an innovative drying function and is connected to our router for remote operation. Why then, does my wife think she knows better than the designers and manufacturers how to load it? Quote Four legs good - two legs bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
